Learn how to complete the 2-Star Hub Quest 'A Pale Shadow' in Monster Hunter Rise. This guide covers Khezu's location, weaknesses, and strategies for defeating it.
Alright, so you've hit 2-star Hub Quests and are ready to take on 'A Pale Shadow.' This one's all about tracking down and dealing with a Khezu. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it!
How to complete A Pale Shadow
This quest unlocks at 2-star Hub Quests, and your goal is to defeat a Khezu. You've got 50 minutes to do it, and you'll get 3960z Zenny for your trouble. The Frost Islands is the place to be for this hunt.
Khezu Location
Before you jump in, remember to chow down on some Bunny Dango for buffs and definitely equip a Fire-based weapon. Khezu really doesn't like Fire, so that's your best bet. Once you're in the Frost Islands, Khezu can pop up in a few spots:
- Area 12: 60% chance
- Area 2: 30% chance
- Area 5: 10% chance
So, your best bet is to head straight for Area 12. If it's not there, check Area 2, and then Area 5 as a last resort.
How to defeat Khezu
Once you've found Khezu in one of its usual haunts, get ready for a fight. Khezu is a Flying Wyvern with a nasty habit of using electrical attacks. Keep your eyes peeled for any blue sparks around it – that's your cue that it's about to unleash some shocking moves, so be ready to dodge or retreat.
It's a classic monster from the original Monster Hunter, and its biggest weakness is, you guessed it, Fire. So, that Fire weapon you brought? Use it! For a more in-depth look at how to fight Khezu specifically, there's a separate page dedicated to it, but for this quest, focusing on its Fire weakness and dodging those electrical bursts is key.
